Strona 42 - ... a claim of any body of men, other than the king, lords, and commons of Ireland, to make laws to bind that kingdom, was unconstitutional, illegal, and a grievance.
Strona 42 - Resolved, therefore, that, as men and as Irishmen, as Christians and as Protestants, we rejoice in the relaxation of the penal laws against our Roman Catholic fellow-subjects, and that we conceive the measure to be fraught with the happiest consequences to the union and prosperity of the inhabitants of Ireland.
Strona 17 - THE work that should to-day be wrought, Defer not till to-morrow ; The help that should within be sought, Scorn from without to borrow. Old maxims these — yet stout and true — They speak in trumpet tone, To do at once what is to do, And trust OURSELYES ALONE.
Strona 7 - If France delays a timely and powerful aid in the critical posture of our affairs, it will avail us nothing should she attempt it hereafter.
Strona 13 - Now, sir, with regard to myself. I have been called a traitor. (A tremendous burst of cheers followed this sentence, twice renewed before silence was restored.) I do not profess disloyalty to the Queen of England. (Ironical applause.) But if it Is treason to profess disloyalty to this House, and to the government of Ireland by the Parliament of Great Britain — if that be treason, I avow the treason. (Oh!
Strona 13 - You may believe what I say. I only wish you had been in France. (A laugh.) The language I have held in Ireland and in France to my countrymen, has been this — that Irish freedom must be won by Irish courage and Irish firmness. I have no desire to impose upon my country one description of servitude in the place of another, — (hear, hear,) — for I believe that the liberty of Ireland, and its redemption from its present position, were they won by foreign bayonets, could only be retained in its...
Strona 26 - I am, however, in no doubt about the weakness of the federal government. If it remains much longer in its present state of imbecility, we shall be one of the most contemptible nations on the face of the earth." * The subject lingered in congress till the third of May. Then South Carolina...
Strona 13 - I do not profess disloyalty to the Queen of England (ironical applause) . But if it be treason to profess disloyalty to this House, and to the government of Ireland by the Parliament of Great Britain — if that be treason, I avow the treason — (" Oh ! " and great excitement.) Nay, more, I say it shall be the study of my life to overthrow the dominion of this Parliament over Ireland...
Strona 13 - Oh !")... It has been stated I went to France for the purpose of enlisting French aid — (hear, hear) — that is to say, armed aid and succour for my countrymen in the struggle in which they are engaged. This is a misapprehension — (Oh ! Oh ! Oh !) If I had gone to France asking for aid of an armed kind, believe me I should have come back accompanied by a tolerably large legion of troops — (some laughter and Oh ! Oh ! Oh !) You may believe what I say.
Strona 13 - Charges have been brought against me as an individual, and against the party -with whom I act. (oh ! and ironical cheers.) I am here to answer those charges, both for myself and for the party with which I act; and I will say this with regard to my companions in the noble struggle in which we are engaged (loud laughter) — that, though I have had an opportunity of seeing the most distinguished men of all parties in this house, I never met a number of men acting for a great political object who appeared...
